What will the feature do?
This new method/methods will plot range-time data in latitude-time plots.
We have two options so far, which we can do both or one of them.
1 - Take one beam of data, convert the gates to latitude and then plot with pcolormesh with a linear y-axis in latitude.
2 - Take a full scan of data, pick a longitude and make the line of latitude as the y-axis and plot how the data along the line progresses with time.
What will the feature not do?
Make decisions about what happens when a FOV goes over the pole and plots in the same latitude again (if option 1), give that option to the user?
(Option 2 does negate this problem?)
This feature will be different from #279 as this will be making the grid and plotting IN coordinates, not range gates.
Description
This feature will be really helpful for users who are monitoring a specific area in grographic or magnetic coordinates.

Development help
pyDARN does not have a dedicated development team on hand to full feature development.
However, if you are able to provide some time and help, the community will try to aid you the best way they can in making your feature possible.
If you need help please indicate what expertise you are looking for:
[ ] developer help with design and integration of code
[x] scientific help with ensuring what you develop is scientifically correct/accurate
[ ] project management to help organize what steps need to be taken to make this possible
